I am a Swiss national and grew up in Geneva where I resided until college.

As a sensitive child, school years were often not easy for me, and I struggled with self esteem issues and social anxiety. I later came to realize that I could have benefitted from psychological counseling during that time, but seeking such help often comes with stigma, and the opportunity didn’t come up. 

Avid to understand the workings of our world and in search for meaning, I  became interested by philosophical and spiritual inquiries as a teenager, and it was a natural progression for me to pursue Psychology studies. I decided to move to London, where I completed my Bachelor’s degree. 

Later on, I had a calling of the heart to go live abroad again, in the US, where I completed my Masters degree in counseling psychology. These years were a mixture of deep growth, adventure, love, and deep grief.

 Adapting to a new culture was difficult and confusing, and yet it was also a period of great transformation in learning to love myself better and heal some of the shame that had been living in my body. My own therapy experience helped me be more comfortable with accepting all my feelings, being vulnerable, and improved my ability to be in connection to others. 

In these more recent years, and as I moved back to Geneva, I have experienced and navigated through tremendous grief as I unexpectedly lost my beloved mother. There is nothing quite like the visceral experience of loss to reshape one’s world, and navigating the stages and the storm of loss is now a topic that is very dear to my heart. 

I hope this introduction to my life has helped you get a better sense of who I am, and if I might be the right fit for you.

I would be honored to work with you.
